The Division QuestlOn-A Prohibition
Canvass With DIncouraging Promise
The hospital a Tair.
Parker, Dakota, Oct. 25th, 1887,
Special correspondence Press and Da-
kotaisn-There is considerable interest
being taken in Turner county in
the coming election OIL division and pro.
hibitioE. While no statehood meetings
are being held, yet there is a quiet and
even vigorous canvass being made to
bring out q full vote for the purpose OF
demonstrating to a deceived eastern
public that division and admission
are desired by Dakotaians. The senti-
ment is almost unanimous and ONE are
even enthusiastic. They seem to feel
that the heavy chains which have so
long bound them to carpet bag rule, and
he might say ruin, are being loosened
and will soon leave them free and un-
fettered.
On prohibition Turner county can be
safely put down as against local option
The temperance people are at work,
while the other element are doing noth-
Ing. The local prohIbltiorists have lost
ell hope of carrying the county and are
willing to let the election go by default.
The insane hospital middle is not I'M
known here IN Parker. Governor Church
is being oensured on all sides, not only
by republicans but by democrats as
we'll. The latter say the governor should
not have appointed "Nellie" Gale. He
should have q place in the executive man
sion with the governor. We sometimes
think the action unwise and yet We think
we can discern the governors motive. A
laugh is sappcssd to be as good as o
dose CT medicine and We venture the
statement that whenever Nellie puts
in his appearance at the asylum
with hia head erect, his heir curled, hlS
mustache waxed, with that comely emile
upon his handsome face and his princeIy
bearing he would make the most de.
mented inmate smile audibly. Some o.
the most prominent democrats here
say the governors action Yves not only
unwise bu. lmpolitio. They stand by
the old board and admire their firmnes'
in refusing to surrender their positions
while the stigma of dishonor is attached
to them through the acts of q governo
who has only craftsmanship in his maxi
up. As one prominent democrat said

Duluth journal: The north Dakota
division campaign opens on Monday
next. The people of Dakota want the
territory divided and will not accept
state rood without division. The
territory lie too large and its interests
too varied to be admitted as one state.
It is larger than all of the New England
states larger than New York, Ohio and
Indiana, and the only cause for opposl-
ton to division is the democratic reason
that its division will give the repubii
cans two more United States senators,
or the New England reason that it
will increase the power OF the west
in the United States senate. ALI OK the
public institutions in Dakota have
been built With O view to ultimate divi-
zion. Those in the south have been du
plicated in the north and the north has
never favored the construction OF a pub
lie building in that section without be-
ing willing TO help the south to q Like
advantage. The result has beer and

than these will be. Admit
ted as a whole it will be subject to per
petusl war between factions. The PEG
pie OF the two sections do not have com
mon interests, nor do they have com
mon market Tor any OF their products
They purchase their goods in differen
cities and rarely ever meet socially or i
